Like other's said, it was good that Jake decided to follow what was in his blood, even unreluctant as he was at first to be a leader.

In my opinion, the 2 packs are protecting separate things. Jacob's pack is protecting the Cullens & Nessie while Sam's pack is concerned to protect the tribe & the other humans around. Even though both know that the Cullen's will not hurt anyone but I think it's the possibility of other vampires coming to Forks that don't understand or abide by how the Cullen's live.

I think Billy was probably rather upset. If I was in his place, I might be too. Being raised vampires are horrible creatures, and then finding out my son imprinted on a half vampire would be upsetting.

I wonder how the pack felt about it.

OK, I know how the pack felt about Jake imprinting on Renesmee. Oops.

i would think eventually sam would step down and jacob would be the only alpha in la push for a while. you gotta assume sam will want to stop phasing, grow old, have a family with his girl, while jake will want to stay a shape shifter as long as nessie is immortal too. then maybe he'd hand his duties over to seth, because the cullens will have to leave forks to maintain their human cover story and wherever the cullens go, jake will go to be with nessie. that's just how i imagine it would go down. the only wild card is leah. i think she'd go lone wolf until she finds someone to imprint on, and then quit phasing (as she's kind of a self-hating shape-shifter.) i feel for her though. i wish we knew what happened to her after BD!

i think its wicked cool that jacob is an alpha, and now has his own pack. i never really liked sam and the rest of the wolves that stayed in his pack anyways, so i was pretty happy that jake decided to go off on his own..even though his intention was to never start his own pack.. lolplus the story lines a lot better with the two different packs. and if i were billy i would be super proud of jake for standing up for what he believed in and finally doing what he was meant to..

I liked the two packs because I loved it when Jake became the Alpha that he was always meant to be. I couldn't stand the way that Sam had taken his and Seth's wills away. It was terrible. So, when Jake took his stand as the rightful Alpha, I had the biggest urge to stand up and applaud him. Then when Seth followed him, it just made me love Seth more. And I was excited when Leah followed, but I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting it. I guess that I should have, but they never really seemed to get along very well, so it surprised me.

I'm not really sure what the future has in store for the two packs, but I think that at some point Sam is going to want to stop phasing so that he can settle down and have a family with Emily. But others like Quil and Jake will keep phasing until their girls grow up some, then Jake will just have to keep up with his phasing so that he can be with Nessie.
